This is a fascinating note from the Facebook engineering team: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=96390263919#!/note.php?note_id=409881258919

It is pretty much a manifesto for the DevOps movement.

Well, the "Control and Responsibility" paragraph, as well as this, put together:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx8OBeNmaWw

p.s. devops can't really ever have a 'manifesto' that would be any more detailed than "Communicate and collaborate, and don't be fingerpointy." :)

Yeah, I guess I got a little carried away because I saw lots of Good Things.

Thanks for the video.

Not at many places I have worked at.

In particular, change incrementally, measure everything, and control and responsibility might be common practice in startups, but not in medium and large organizations (where I spend most of my time)
